SPORTS AND WELLNESS
Issue 9: Gender restrictions
Participants, similarly, perceived the gym as a largely male-dominated space.
However, the ground survey (figure 16) highlighted that this did not affect their
willingness to go to the gym. It was polled as the most frequently engaged form
of sports. Figure 17 reveals that at least 25% of women go to the gym.
Although based on a small sample, this underscores that young women do
frequent the gym. Therefore, the discussions focused on unpacking the issues
they faced while working out in these male-dominated spaces as well how best
to further increase their participation in this space.
